The, Courier-Jo Journal lis one of
the ablest of the journals opposing
federal aid to free education, and
its principal objection is that "the
south can educate its own chill
dren',-a sort of false pride and
seeming feeling that the South
more than any other section is
begging aid. This is a false pre-
mise, and that objection of pride
wholly = erroneous. The South
presents almost the entire opposi-
ton to the bill and though, be-
cause of its negro-swelled litter
acy, gets "a larger proportion than
other sections, it may be said,
TOO, that the general government
has made the negroes citizens and
factors in the government, and,
too, the during the late civil war
the North prospered at the ex-
pense Of the South to that extent
that some pretext for return to
the piundered section Of u small
per cent Of its damages would be
"A glad opportunity to a just adj
ministration. In this matter it
would certainly be best all round
for pride and prejudice to give
way TO the use of the federal public
domain Gas our are state lands) to
public free education. And why
should not the South and Texas
have a full share?

man travelling ''down in Arkansas"
heard two old women talking before a
cabin door. One of them, with a clay
pipe between her lips, said:

Singular Scene in a Sersglio.

London Truth: The women in the
Sultan's seraglio at Constantinople
have just been %vaccinatcd to the num-
Der of $50, in a large hall, under the
superintendent of four gigantic Gu
nuchs. The Italian surgeon, to which
the task was contided, was stationed in
front of a huge screen and the women
were concealed behind it. A hole had
been made in the screen just large
enough TO allow an arm to pass
through, and in this manner the arms
of various celors and sizes were pre-
sented to the operator in rapid success
sion. 1t was utterly impossible for
the surgeon to get a glimpse of his
patient, but in order to guard against
the chance of his being able to see
drought the screen, two eunuchs, who
stood by the operator, threw a shawl
over his face the instant the operation
was concluded. and did not remove II
until the next arm had been placed in
position.

Boston Courier; There" said the
Young wife, turning from the mirror to
her husband and giving him a sweet
smile, what do you think of these
bangs, CharlesP Do they become me?"
Charles, who was at that moment
engrossed in the task of reckoning up.
the total cost of bonrets, bangs, dresses
and so forth, answered with u clouded
brow:
Il should think you would be
ashamed to ask such "a question, Mary.
Your vanity is becoming absolutely in
s~uilerable."
''Charles,' she said in a tremulous
voice IF | am vain it is for you. You
would not love me if | was Il slattern
and a dowdy. 1t is for your sake that
| try to make myself as attractive as
possible"
Having said this she burst into tears.
Then Charles arose and gathered
her into his arms and kissed hel fondly
and said:
Your bangs are lovely, dear, and
you are lovely, and if all wives were rs
neat and DESTROYS of attracting the
attention of their husbands as YOU are
there would be a great deal more con-
jugal happiness IN the world than there
is at present. There, my love. Now
forgive me for my rudeness.'

Alexandria,

The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN some days
ago pointed out some Of the advantages OF
Alexandria, Va, as q manufacturing CEN
ter, but 1t did not exhaust the list, by any
means.
One great reason why manufacturing can
be successful at Alexandria Is the cheap.
ness of all kinds and classes Of food. Meats,
vegetables, and fruits are not only cheap,
but good, because they are not injured by
having to be transported long distances
from the place OF production.
Labor is abundant and cheap; not skilled
labor, OF course, but class OF workers who
can easily be taught. But the mildness of
the climate is one Of the greatest induce.
ments to both the capitalist and the worker
In any species Of manufacturing. The sit
uatlon is close enough TO the ocean to make
the summer mild and pleasant, and 1t is far
enough south to escape the seventies of a
rigorous winter. In other words, 1t is
neither excessively hot in summer nor very
cold In winter at Alexandria.
Workmen will not have to travel mile or
more through two or three feet of snow to
reach their working places, nor will the
factory owner have to expend fortune
each winter In heating his building, aud
there is no healthier place In the country
than Alexandra.
These are but few Of the reasons why
capitalists who desire to invest in almost
any kind Of manufacturing should vlsi;
Alexandria and examine as to its fitness.

The total appropriations passed at the late
session Of Congress were 1892, 757, 1853. ofthese
S2i2 2JCs go escaped the Presidents veto and
went into effect. This is fifteen millions less
than those flast year. II is also to be rcmem.
bersd that, as passed by the Republican Sem
ate, these bills carried $50. 5.0O),00O more than
they did rs passed by the Democratic House
a fact which the Republicans will be Chilled
uIon rCXt year to explain in every state from
Maine TO Texas, How will they defend their
extravaganza, - IIdhiHJtOa Post.
The Republicans "from NJ Aine to Texas"
will have a ready and truthful explanation
why it was that the appropriations were in
creased by the Republican Senate over the
amounts given by a Democratic House.
They will show that this Democratic House,
under the leadership of a Democrat, whom
the FOt daily reads out Of the party, cut
down the appropriations so that the bust
ness OF the government could not be con-
Quoted, and that Republicans and Demo,
Gratis in the Senate united In the determi-
nation to appropriate enough money for
the uses Of the government.
And the Republicans, to prove how great
q sham this pretense OF economy Is upon
the part Of the Democratic House, will
quote from the speech of Senator Beck, the
leading Democrat on the appropriations
committee of the Senate, in which, on the
floor Of the Senate, he denounced his Demo.
cratic brethren In the House for their dem.
agoey in making the appropriations
lees than the needs Of the government,
knowing that the Senate would raise them,
so that they might have the opportunity of
saying just what the Post has said.
